Grassroots sport is often considered as an affordable social integration tool that can be used by various social groups. The MOVE Congress delegates saw effective examples that have attracted women (including Sport England’s This Girl Can campaign), children, minorities and other socially disadvantaged groups to sport and physical activity offers.

The growth of outdoor sports and the popularity of running were featured as being among the top trends offering new opportunities for people to adopt more active routines. Creative mass events and sport initiatives were presented as attractive tools for sustainable sport participation.

Grassroots sport trends often rely on new approaches to facility construction and management. The Congress’ interactive on-site and off-site tours of Copenhagen facilities and urban planning showed how municipalities are working together with local sport organisations to integrate physical activity into citizens’ everyday environments.

The MOVE Congress was organised in partnership with DGI (Danish Gymnastics and Sports Associations), Sport Event Denmark, Copenhagen Municipality and the Danish Foundation for Culture and Sports Facilities (LOA Fonden).

This is not an easy task, but necessary to make the urban environment more liveable. The MOVE Congress 2014 showed that there is a growing interest from various sectors to find solutions – and that is very encouraging, but not enough. There
